[ see that THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
for last week has the Cross Mark,
which reminds me that | am in arrears
for my subscription, SO | enclose you
one dollar to pay it for 1888. Per-
nit me to say that I think The FARMER
is doing good work for the farmers of
the State in trying to educate them
up to their interest. If they would
quit raising I and 8 IL cen cotton to
pay for 10 and II cent western meat,
and raise it themselves, they would, in
my opinion, be better off. What has
been done can be done again, for l
can recollect when this part of the
country raised all farm supplies, and
the farmers were much better off than
now, and l think if they do not 60 at
it again, they will be worse off than
they are, and the commercial class
will W and control a large part of
the land, and those who work it will
be almost slaves for them. In every
issue of your paper you should urge
the great Importance of raising farm
supplies. Suppose for instance, there
had been no meat. and corn imported
in the State, and it had all been pro-
duced at home, how much better off
the farmers would be. | am astonished
at such a suicide policy and hope they
will soon change it. There are other
causes that Cypress the farmers of the
country that l may allude to here
after. HOME SUPPLIES.

THE COST AND PROFITS OF
COTTON MILLING.

One Of our citizens has taken sufi-
Gent interest in the cotton factory
movement to write to two experienced
cotton millers and get the benefit Of
their advice and estimates upon the
project. They advise a mill to begin
with 1000 spindles, SO constructed as
that 4, 900 spindles additional, or Rooms
for weaving as might be determined,
could be put in. The estimated cost
of such an enterprise is $4,000, and
it is stated that, if judiciously managed,
the property should yield an annual
dividend of Is to 20 per cent.-States-

Farmers, remember that all articles
for exhibition at the State Fair are trans
ported to and from the Fair free of charge.
Remember also that the fare on the rail
roads to all, visitors Of the Fair, is only
n cent per mile each way. So come
along and bring something with you, and
see the people. hear what they say go
into the Farmers Institute and hear and
take part in the discussions, and make
new acquaintance and new friends, and
get new ideas, and catch the renewed and
invigorating spirit whichthe occasion will
inspire. Our word for it, you will be
pleased and profted.
We do not remember ever to have
seen such active work among the officials
of agricultural fairs in our State. They
all seem determined to "out-do" them
selves this year, and what is better the
farmers and other classes ar lending them
more aid and encouragement than hither-
to. We doubt whether a larger crowd of
visitors has ever entered the gates of our
State Fair than will this year. From all
points Of the compass, and from all por-
tons of the State, they are coming. A
half dozen points are asking for special
trains to accommodate their people. The
State Farmers Institute will be largely
attended.
ALIENS Forty Lessons in Book-keep-
ing, arranged as a textbook for use in
graded and high schools and as a refer
ence book for business men, should be on
the desk of every business man and in
the counting room Of every book-keeper
and in the hands Of every school teacher
and of every boy student in our State. 1t
5 the embodiment of lessons learned
through long years of actual experience
as a merchant, and to those who know
the author it is only necessary to say that
it is the work of Mr.. Geo. Allen, of New
bern, N. c.. He has just issued the third
edition. Has sold 400 copies to the
Baltimore county schools.
Thanks! thanks! kind friends for
your generous efforts on behalf of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER. Our subscription
list is growing every day and we are
proud of our patrons. All classes and
professions are represented on it. The
farmers are coming up to its support
handsomely. If one member Of a club
or alliance or grange would take a copy
to his next meeting and show it and read
our very low rates to clubs, we believe
that it would add 1000 to our list in two
weeks. Try it. 1t is the mouthpiece of
the farmers of the State and is their faith
full and never-tiring advocate, and if they
would be felt in our State they have only
to give their organ a liberal and hearty
support. Again: Many thanks for the
handsome lists that are being sent in to
us. Let them come.

The Beginning Of the End.

The beginning Of disease is slight debility
or disorder of some Of the vital organs, the
stomach. the liver or the bowels Usually.
There are dyspeptio symptoms. the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney aud un-
healthy looking. there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prOstratiOn Of the
physical energies. perhaps fatal issue. Bat
II the difficulty is met In time with Hostetter's
remedy, and il should be resorted to Mt an early
stage, there will be TO reason TO apprehand
those injurious subsequent Effects upon the
system often entaied by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is IL, also. to employ this
safe remedial aeet in fever aud ague, and
9th malarial complaints. than quinine and
other potentd uRs, which, even when they dc
prove eheetunl fOi q .imo, ruin the stomach
